As a junior, Moores shot a 145 to finish fourth at the Class 3A state tournament at Grand National in Opelika. and was named to the Huntsville Times All-Area team. Moores also placed first at North 3 Sub-State last season, third at Section 3 and tied for first at the Bill Easterling Memorial Metro Championships.

"It's been a long process," said Moores, whose dad attended Samford.
"It's been a dream of mine since middle school or even before that.
Samford's kind of been my top choice since junior year. It's kind of a
surreal moment."

Moores will be the third Huntsville region golfer on Samford's roster, joining Madison Academy's Chris Clouser and Decatur's Mac Hennessy.
